In Sinu Jesu: When Heart Speaks to Heart (paperback)

IN SINU JESUWhen Heart Speaks to Heartby a Benedictine Monk

In 2007, Our Lord and Our Lady began to speak to the heart of a Benedictine monk in the silence of Eucharistic adoration. He was prompted to write down what he received, and his journal became IN SINU JESU, whose pages shine with a spiritual luminosity and fervor that speak directly to the needs of our time with a unique power to console and challenge. The pages of this remarkable record of spiritual communication range across, and plunge into, many fundamental aspects of the spiritual life.

Passages from this journal (which has been granted the imprimatur) have already influenced the spiritual lives of priests, religious, and laymen -- may it now give light and warmth, consolation and renewed conviction, to readers throughout the world.

In 2007, Our Lord and Our Lady began to speak to the heart of a monk in the silence of adoration. He was prompted to write down what he received, and thus was born In Sinu Jesu, whose pages shine with an intense luminosity and heart-warming fervor that speak directly to the inner and outer needs of our time with a unique power to console and challenge.

The pages of this remarkable record of spiritual communication range across, and plunge into, many fundamental aspects of the spiritual life: loving and being loved by God; the practice of prayer in all its dimensions; the unique power of Eucharistic adoration; trustful surrender to divine providence; the homage of silence; the dignity of liturgical prayer and the sacraments; the mystery of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass; priestly identity and apostolic fruitfulness; the role of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the saints in our lives; sin, woundedness, mercy, healing, and purification; the longing for heaven and the longed-for renewal of the Catholic Church on earth.

Given the harmony of its content with the teaching of Sacred Scripture, Catholic Tradition, and well-known works of the mystics, it is eminently fitting that In Sinu Jesu be published in full at this time (it has been granted the imprimatur). Passages from this journal have already influenced the spiritual lives of priests, religious, and laymen--may it now give light and warmth, consolation and renewed conviction, to readers throughout the world.

Praise for In Sinu Jesu:

"In Sinu Jesu recounts the graces experienced in the life of one priest through the healing and strengthening power of Eucharistic adoration. At the same time, it issues an urgent call to all priests--and, indeed, to all Christians--to be renewed in holiness through adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament and consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Mediatrix of All Graces."-- HIS EMINENCE RAYMOND LEO CARDINAL BURKE, Patron of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta

"Deep consolation and a renewed gratitude for Him as He draws His friends to Himself--these are the fruits of following the meditations of this book. It will fill hearts with encouragement and joy."-- FR. HUGH BARBOUR, O.Praem., Prior, St. Michael's Abbey of the Norbertine Fathers

"The words spoken here bring such comfort, courage, and light--a longing to be with the Lord, gazing upon and adoring His Eucharistic Face and offering ourselves and our lives in reparation for sins against Love."-- FR. DAVID ABERNETHY C.O., Congregation of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri, Pittsburgh

"In Sinu Jesu has the power to inflame the desire for Eucharistic adoration. It is a powerful expression of Our Lord's thirst to draw us deeper into His friendship, to heal wounds, and thus to renew the Church."-- FR. JOACHIM SCHWARZMÜLLER, Krefeld, Germany

"In Sinu Jesu is a beautiful and powerful work saturated with the kind of contagious love and holiness that can only come from reclining--like His beloved disciple--upon Christ's breast, hearing Him whisper words of consolation and encouragement for us all."-- KEVIN VOST, Psy.D., author of The Porch and the Cross

"We sometimes dismiss the interior voice, thinking that because it is within, it must be our own. But does God not dwell deep within us? Can he not speak, then, to the heart? This listener has heard Christ invite priests and all the faithful back to the Sacrament of Love."-- DAVID W. FAGERBERG, University of Notre Dame, author of Consecrating the World

"In Sinu Jesu is an inspired work which conveys the quintessentially important Christian truth that intimate divine friendship with Jesus calls for more time before His Eucharistic Presence. In this present age of ubiquitous woundedness, anxiety and loneliness, In Sinu Jesu gives us the ultimate remedy for both priests and lay faithful: the balming love we receive from Jesus only by contemplating His Eucharistic Face in the Blessed Sacrament. This book is a contemporary spiritual classic."-- MARK MIRAVALLE, Franciscan University of Steubenville
